The deliverable must be a 1024x1024 png image, no transparency, full square (NO rounded corners).

Download the game to your Android phone. Please note that the icon is needed for the English/American version of the Blackball Pool game. An icon for the Russian localization and the Russian Billiards flavor of the game will be a separate contest later. For the current version, the balls in the Pool game are 7 yellow and 7 red + 1 yellow and 1 black ball.

I'm setting contest duration to 30 days so as to be able to run 2-3 days long performace tests with the game to see which version of the icon generates more downloads of the game. Every 2-3 days I'll take 3 icons which I like and put them into an "experiment" on GooglePlay, displaying each of these icons with 25% probability to Android users. I will give 1 star to the icons which I don't like (and which I won't even test) and 2 or more stars depending on how those good icons performed on Google Play. I will generally be able to give a rating only several days after you submit your icon. Please don't participate if you don't like this procedure and don't want your icon to be displayed on Google Play for even 2-3 days at 25% probability.

Please don't include any watermarks on the file - I can't run any tests with them. It is a guaranteed contest and I only need 1 final icon, I will pay for the icon with the best performance.

EDIT: I'm attaching the initial version of the icon which I made myself. The goal of this contest for me is to increase downloads of the game by getting yet a better icon from you. The first submission to outperform the initial version in A/B tests will get 3 stars. Anything that outperforms even that later, will get 4 and 5 stars.

#53 and #49 performed only slightly worse than my initial version. So, giving them 3 stars just to show that they are so far the best of all submitted, performance-wise.

I've just attached to the contest description the initial version of the icon which I made myself months ago. The goal of this contest for me is to increase downloads of the game by getting yet a better icon. The first submission to outperform the initial version in A/B tests on GooglePlay will get 3 stars. Anything that outperforms even that later, will get 4 and 5 stars. So far you see only 2 stars for all existing submissions - meaning that so far none of those have outperformed my initial icon. I'm rigorously testing everything. Personally, I like entries #15, #5, #43 but this doesn't matter because the players seem to have different tastes and still preferred my initial icon to these. I really hope I will get icon variants which will at least outperform my own icon!
